English

Answer:

One of the main themes in this story is gratitude. The narrator is indebted to her mother for her life. She is grateful that her mother (Anna) has even made her life possible. This is why the narrator says "I owe her my existence three times." First, Anna saved her own life during a trapeze accident. Although Anna lost her first baby in childbirth following this accident, saving her own life allowed her to live on and eventually give birth to the narrator. The narrator is thankful a second time because Anna met her second husband during her hospital stay.  

The "leap," first of all, refers to the actual leap the narrator's mother makes in saving her life during the house fire. This is the third time the narrator owes Anna her existence. To repay her mother for giving her life and/or saving her life, the narrator returns to take care of Anna. Anna's husband (narrator's father) has died and Anna has become blind. Anna loved to read. The narrator pledges to care for her mother and to read to her as much as needed. In this statement, one can see her dedication and gratitude towards her mother.  

Since my father's recent death, there is no one to read to her, which is why I returned, in fact, from my failed life where the land is flat. I came home to read to my mother, to read out loud, read long into the dark if I must, to read all night.  

The narrator makes her own "leap" in the sense that she goes back to care for Anna. The symbolic notion of the "leap" is about creating an intimate connection

Answer:

4. the uninterrupted action mirrors how the orders will be carried out when the time comes.

Explanation:

From the excerpt above, one can read that Hemingway makes use of the phrase "when it will start." The pronoun "it" refers to a particular specific event that is of essential importantance and needs to be efficiently carried out as early as possible. The long sentence stricture in which the military action would take to set up for the event best reflects the style of "The uninterrupted action mirrors how the orders will be carried out when the time comes."

Describe how the grandmother and the left handed twin each disobey the rules?
Rasek [7]

Answer:

The left handed twin created things that were contrary and bad in relation to the things created by his brother, while the grandmother favored the left handed twin in all battles with the brother.

Explanation:

The right handed twin created good things that generated benefits for human beings, being he the creator of human beings, but the left handed twin always spoiled his brother's creations, creating contrary things that disfavored the human being. The action of the two twins left the world in balance, but the right handed twin saw it as a disobedience of his brother and ended up killing in a conflict generated between the two.

The grandmother of the two was disgusted with the situation and called the right handed brother a murderer. He thought that his grandmother favored his brother, cut off her head and threw it into the sky, raised the moon and threw the body into the sea, creating the fish.
